title: [Hybrid vascular intervention].
abstract: Hybrid vascular intervention denotes the intentional combination of surgical intervention with endovascular repair. For coronary artery disease, minimally invasive bypass grafting of the left thoracic artery to the left descending artery is combined with stenting of non-LAD stenoses using drug eluting stents. This hybrid therapy is expected to confer the merits of both intervention, that is the less invasiveness of percutaneous coronary intervention and the beneficial effect for long-term survival rate of coronary artery bypass grafting. For aortic aneurysms, extended endovascular aortic repair using stent grafts is performed after bypasses to the aortic branches. This hybrid approach is expected to yield low mortality and morbidity rate by omitting the cardiopulmonary bypass and laborious procedural details of the conventional surgical intervention.
